It may not win, but I definitely expect at least top 5. The only cars I see that really match it's heart is the GTR, BMW, and Aventador. Aside from those, only the track day cars would bump it out.

i hope top gear does a good video on the 86 or brz, i dont think they have scion in the UK.

Top Gear magazine is available on Newsstand on iOS devices. I'll let you know how it did as soon as I get the chance to get the issue.

While I love my car, I find it hard to imagine it stacking up against cars that cost more than 10x its base price, regardless of cost/reward factors.

I just hope it doesn't get shredded. :P

I don't know why everyone was worried about getting "shredded" by the other cars. This entire article was about being able to enjoy the most of the car. Out of the 24 cars listed the GT86 was the clear choice for a car that could answer the needs of the article.

Hanzo · 07-18-2012, 02:47 PM

Still surprise it won.

Spaceywilly · 07-18-2012, 02:54 PM

did they do a lap?

Imti · 07-18-2012, 03:07 PM

Wow, it won.

Could not read anything in the article. Just the big lettered quotes in the scans. Not enough material on the other cars to read. I believe I'll wait for the whole magazine pdf etc. to roll on the internet.

Hanzo · 07-18-2012, 03:10 PM

I'll buy a copy if it's on the newstand on ipad.

blackfireball5 · 07-18-2012, 03:17 PM

I want a copy of this just to show friends when they ask why i want this car over others. lol

denkigrve · 07-18-2012, 03:32 PM

It's a fantastic read. Lots of amazing cars. They paired them all into categories, and then chose the top from each to go into the final round for the drive across scotland.

Indeed. The new Exige S

I know I know it didn't.

So many awesome cars amongst the 24. A lottery win could just be spent picking from them

As a side note, might want to update the thread title to say SPOILER ALERT. Some folks still like reading whole articles and might want to discover themselves.
